Kennedy

Three thoughts regarding Kennedy:

a) Wow. Bummer. Even if you don't care for him, this is a real punch to the brain. In more ways than one.

b) Heard a guy, retired brickworker, passing the State House and seeing all the media types, asked what was up. Upon hearing the news, he said ' Ted? Is he okay? ' Ted?

c) Bet the politicians are mouthing sincerities out of one side of their mouths, and dealing for his office with the other....

It does make me sad for him and his family. I wonder what is influenced by that part of the brain? It will be interesting to see how this is all played out. I hope the media is more respectful than usual.

From the New York Times site:

"Kennedy's doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital said he had a malignant glioma in the left parietal lobe, a region of the brain that helps govern sensation, movement and language."
